Mary Jane Farr: Embezzlement

Miss Mary Jane Farr called "Minnie" was born in 1886 in Rathdrum, ID to Hiram Farr (1839-18940 and Margaret Walker (1845-1932).

Minnie was never married



Inmate #6691 Idaho State Prison
Rec: 17 Jan 1944
Term: 1-10 years
Age: 57
She became addicted to slot machines and going to nightclubs and started living beyond her means financially. 






She was pardoned and released from prison on 1 Oct 1944.

Here are a few photos of found of slot machines from that era.





Minnie had 2 siblings
Hiram Farr 1868-
Joseph Farr 1870-1943
Solomon Tredwell Farr 1875-1969
Emily Farr 1878-1969

Both were born in Ireland before their parents came to America.

Emily never married either she stayed with her mother until her death in 1932.





She embezzled almost $10,000 within 3 years, and pretty much got away with it. First mistake was keeping the slips.

I made her a Tree on Ancestry and I connected the family's memorials on Find-A-Grave.
